Master Distiller Collection

Number One

  The Jack Distillery is proud to present the Master Distiller Collection - a limited edition series honoring the six men who have maintained the quality and tradition of Americas Oldest Registered Distillery since 1866. The first in the series is appropriately devoted to our distillery founder, Mr. Jack Daniel.

Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel was born in 1850.

At an early age Jack learned the art of whiskey-making from his friend, the Reverend Dan Call. Soon afterwards, Jack purchased Reverend Call's businesses and quickly became known in the area as a maker of fine whiskey.

Mr. Jack soon moved his operation alongside our  famed cave spring in Lynchburg, where the distillery still benefits from a continuous flow of iron-free limestone water.  He also proved his commitment to quality by holding onto the charcoal-mellowing process when others abandoned it for cheaper methods of making whiskey.

70cl   40%Vol

The whiskey from the highest barrels in the barrelhouses is said to be of the highest quality due to being aged at the perfect altitude. The distillery first bottled this fine whiskey for the Japanese market in 1993 and named it Master Distiller as a tribute to each of the Master Distillers who have continued to make sure this whiskey is continued to be made exactly as it was when Mr Jack was himself the Master Distiller.

The Master Distillers of the Jack Daniels Distillery to date are as follows

Jasper Newton Daniel - 1866-1911

 Jess Motlow - 1911-1941
